Defending Premier League champions Liverpool will face Brighton in the fourth round of the FA Cup after beating Barnsley 4-1 on Monday evening.
The Reds have been drawn at home for the February tie and will be aiming to improve on last season’s run, which ended at the same stage away to Plymouth.
After the game, Slot said: “A good win. That’s not the performance, that’s the result. We wanted to go into the next round, that’s what we did. Four beautiful goals.
“Shots from outside the box; it’s not always easy to unlock a low block, for any team in the world but definitely also not for us. You have a few weapons to do so.
“Set-pieces, as we see so many times, especially in the Premier League. A shot from outside the box, a one-v-one. We saw today a shot from outside the box and a one-v-one from Jeremie Frimpong.
“And in the end we saw with the third one some individual skills from Curtis [Jones], Hugo and Flo which led to a good goal. So yeah, some good goals.”
The Dutchman added: “I think they can be proud of themselves, how they did and how difficult they made it for us. A game plan that looked very similar to a lot of teams that are coming here.”
Brighton, meanwhile, earned the trip to Anfield by knocking Manchester United out of the competition, securing a 2-1 win at Old Trafford through goals from Brajan Gruda and Danny Welbeck.
